His head explodes in the audio drama.
Yuna breaks up with him stranded on an island from a storm, he get's frustrated and kicks what he thinks is a blitzball.
Turns out to be a bomb that launch his head right in front of Yuna.

I don't think there was ever a rumor that FFX-3 was in development. There was much speculation about it after the audio drama that came with FFX/X-2 HD but nothing more. Every time Square was asked about it the response was that they want to make it but there is not free staff at the moment. Hashimoto was asked again this summer and he said that both Nomura and Kitase want to make it but it's not possible right now because of VIIR.
You think a Mobius map was an entire game at some point? Because thats all this sounds like its going to be, like 80 nodes across some boards like the Lightning event we just had, with some cutscenes where WOL asks Tidus what his truth is, and then Tidus will say thats my truth, and WOL will shrug his shoulders and say I guess Ill have to keep searching for the true truth., because thats what the writing in Mobius is like.
Reminder to everyone that between FFX and FFX-2 Tidus simply didnt exist, so going on a boring journey on a mobile title where they fight assets pulled straight from FFX/X-2 HD Remaster for hours on autobattle and ask themselves deep questions with no answers is the expectation you should have.
wait what

Square Enix has become all too self-aware.
No matter what dumb stunts they pull, they know we care too much to ignore it.
EDIT: Tidus kicks a bomb?! I never bothered to listen to that! That's awesome! Keep that canon!

Oh come on, what the heck are you guys talking about? Can't possibly be true, don't do this to me.

Someone wrote an official follow-up to FFX-2 that makes fanfiction.net look like high-class literature.

I never liked X much but I feel genuinely sorry for people that are heavily invested in these characters.
The lack of respect some companies show for their legacy and fans can be shocking.

No, I think Mobius itself was FFX-3, not the event map they're adding in now, in the same way Bravely Default was originally Final Fantasy: 4 Heroes of the Light 2 or Assassin's Creed was Prince of Persia: Assassins.

Yuna dumps Tidus and he gets all grumpy-pants.
While they're stranded on an island during a storm, he sees what he thinks is a Blitzball on the beach and runs to kick it.
It's actually an ancient Machina bomb, and his kick sets it off.
He's decapitated/dismembered in the explosion, and his disembodied head lands at Yuna's feet, Looney Tunes style.
This is 100% canon.

The thread title terrified me, i thought they were going to make another FFX sequel.

If it's anything like the FF13 event, I wouldn't expect anything good.
Lightning finds her way to Palamecia. She doesn't think she's Lightning, but the MC and Echo tell her she is. Enter 2 full maps (or about 2 hours of content) of conversations about how awesome Lightning is and why Lightning is strong. At the end she realizes she is Lightning, gets super powerful because she remembers that she is Lightning. The MC duels Lightning, remarks how strong Lightning is and how she was holding back.
Then you climb a tower full of fake Lightnings

What the hell..
I think X3 is really happening.

I've heard this part before but the only thing sillier has got to be what happens to put him back together.
I say that, but i don't know what it is - I'm asking, what puts him back together?

I love FFX threads because, every time, there are people in them who aren't aware of the FFX-2.5 thing and it's an opportunity to make them know about it. They must KNOW. Everyone must KNOW how crazy Nojima has become.

I cant believe they shat on the ffx canon with this... Who even wrote this garbage?
Nojima has been a bad writer for a while in case you forgot that he was the scenario planner for fucking Advent Children.

Nojima is angry that his original Versus XIII story never saw the light of the day and now he is creating all these crazy stories on purpose.

You guys forgot the icing on the cake about the audio drama:
We learn this fact and then that's it, THE END. Yet Square pretend they didn't have an FFX-3 in mind, lmao
Sin is back!
Nojima, writer of Final Fantasy 7.

There's some bullshit about how people in Spira are suddenly able to wish things back and it turns out somebody wanted Sin back, so now Sin is a thing again.
It's good that he stuck the landing on that one considering that the next game that he also wrote has a story where calling it a hot mess would be being kind.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Are they going to explain why the Fayth were huge fucking dicks who had the power to make Tidus alive whenever they felt like it but then didn't do it because "fuck you Yuna you haven't earned our gratitude"

Well, keep in mind there's a ranking tower event where you defeat a gauntlet of enemies every month in Mobius and they usually attach a story to it. This one was themed around Lightning, so they explained in universe that the Lightnings are the shadow of her true power or some nonsense.Trying to find the video of the cutscenes brb.
edit: found it
I might have forgotten a detail here or there but that's the gist of it. Really.

Wow. This is so weird - I was just thinking, "hey whatever the happen fuck happen to Tidus between x and x2?" Can't believe I'm finding out soon. Wow thx Square.
What. The. Fuck.
What. The. Fuck.
Ive basically just written Square-Enix completely off at this point. Octopath Traveler is the only thing they have going Im remotely excited for, and they still have time to screw that up. Even the KH3 demo feels janky and not like something they would have made when they had their act together.
As far as the FF series, basically everything after XII feels like theyve lost their way.
I don't think they even got to the part of planning to make an actual X-3. The S-E way of doing new games is developing a rough concept, teasing them in rereleases/spin-offs and then actually finding staff to get the game developed. They love to give people the illusion that these games could be made soon, but nobody is actually working on them.
We got it with the FFVII sequel at the end of Dirge of Cerberus, we got it with Type-1 at the end of Type-0 HD, we got it with the new TWEWY at the end of the mobile port, and we got it again with this. And now they are making Ivalice content for XIV while saying stuff like "this could mean something!!" when in reality they don't even have a clue on what people would even make all these dream projects.
